01. Halloween

Music by King Diamond & Michael Denner
Lyrics by King Diamond
Oh It's Halloween

Every Night To Me Is Halloween
Like An Ancient Scene
You Know Just What I Mean

Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream

The Moon Is Full, Another Perfect Day Has Began
Like A Demon's Eye, That Devil's Eye
Will We Ever Die

Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream

Every Night Will Be Another Evil Scene
Like In Horror Dreams I Want
I Command You To Scream

Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream
Halloween... Halloween...

02. Them

[Instrumental]

03. No Presents For Christmas

Christmas time is here again
Santa needs a helping hand .. hand
He cannot find a single sheep
To draw his sleigh through the night
So all the waiting Christmas trees
Gonna hear their master sing....

There's no presents, not this Christmas
There's no presents

Tom and Jerry, Drinking Sherry
They don't give a damn

Christmas time is here again
Santa needs a helping hand
It's getting very, very late
St-Peter's closed the Golden Gate
An Donald Duck is still in bed
I wonder who he's gonna help

There's no presents, Not this christmas
There's no presents

Tom and Jerry, All done Sherry
They don't give a damn

There's no presents, Not this Christmas
There's no presents

Tom and Jerry, Still Drinking Sherry
They don't give a damn

I'm dreaming of a white.... Sabbath....

04. Shrine

The light is hurting my eyes
Even in the dark
I know I'm alive

I am burning for you,
Yeah you know its true.

Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the chain between our lights
I see your face I recognize
Darkness you are a holy shrine

The night, awakens the mind
This is where we all meet
The ones left behind

I am burning for you,
Yeah you know it's true.

Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing between our lights
I see your face I recognize
Darkness you are a holy shrine

Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing between our lights
I see your face I recognize
Darkness you are a holy shrine

I am burning for you,
Yeah you know it's true.

Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing sleep of night
I see your face I can't deny it
Darkness you are a holy shrine

The night, awakens the mind
This is where we all meet
The ones left behind

I am burning for you... I am burning for you...

05. The Lake

Music & lyrics by King Diamond
Any Sunday morning, well just before dawn
A little girl is dancing, on the mansion lawn

She calls out a name, "Dagon? of the sea
Appear from the darkest deep
And hear my need...

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of grief
Dancing hand in hand with the Devil

Watching from the bridge, the one near by the lake
Why Sister Margaret? No need the hate

Yes, we all know, that you're serving the cross
But this time my dear
Well you're lost

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of grief
Dancing hand in hand with the Devil

And the nun has been seen
I want your cross
Now come and play
Sister Margaret

Follow pride, the nun won't give in
She goes down the lawn
Scared as Hell, the little girl is screaming
While Sister Margaret disappears in the lake

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of happiness
Dancing hand in hand with the Devil
